Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the leaf- and root-associated microbiomes of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

Creator:: Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
Abstract:: A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey Ann
Abstract:: Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...

An enzymatic method for the removal of diacetyl from fermented beverages

Creator:: Whinery, Janet
Abstract:: The presence of diacetyl in sufficient concentrations to cause off-flavor in beer is a serious economic problem affecting the brewing industry. Research was carried out in an attempt to provide an industrially acceptable method for reducing diacetyl to safe levels in beer, with additional applications to frozen concentrated orange juice,...

Distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E in fish, shellfish and the marine environment of the Pacific Northwest, and protein patterns of the toxigenic and non-toxigenic stains

Creator:: Craig, James Morrison
Abstract:: Interest in the distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E was heightened by the sudden outbreak of human botulism from smoked whitefish chubs and canned tuna fish in 1963. The question arose as to how widely the organism is distributed among fish and shellfish in the Northwest and what potential hazard...

Bacterial Predation in Host Microbiomes

Creator:: Welsh, Rory M.
Abstract:: In host-associated microbiomes, the mechanisms that regulate community composition or the principles that govern dynamics remain far from clear. However, understanding how the structure of microbial communities shift as the system moves away from a healthy state is critical to assessing disease progression and to formulate any potential mitigation strategy....

Studies on control of diacetyl off-flavor in beer

Creator:: Tolls, Terry Norman
Abstract:: Sporadic outbreaks of diacetyl off-flavor in beer are a serious economic problem to the brewing industry. Studies were carried out in an attempt to improve the understanding of the problem and to experiment with new ways of controlling this defect. The Owades and Jakovac method of diacetyl determination as modified...

Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

Molecular cloning and analysis of the infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus genome and development of a subunit vaccine

Creator:: Gilmore, Robert D. (Robert Dean), 1956-
Abstract:: Complementary DNA (cDNA) clones were generated from the RNA genome of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) by using random DNA oligomers to prime first strand synthesis. These clones were mapped to their respective locations on the genome and used to determine the nucleotide sequence of the nucleocapsid (N) gene and...

The Influence of Microbial Communities on Spatiotemporal Elemental Cycling in Coastal Margins Revealed by Community- and Population-level Genomics and Proteomics

Creator:: Kieft, Brandon P.
Abstract:: Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...

Physical and functional characterization of soluble protein antigen(s) produced by Renibacterium salmoninarum

Creator:: Turaga, Prasad S. D.
Abstract:: Renibacterium salmoninarum produces bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in salmonid fish. Soluble antigen(s) (SA) produced by the bacterium was characterized by physicochemical, functional and immunological methods. The molecular weight determination by SDS-PAGE analysis of SA yielded 14 different molecular weight species. Seven of these species were prominent, 57 kd protein being...
